CRUX PPC

the newly committed 16.1h-7 version of the cvsup package seems to segfault on Pegasos2 computers during the build with an error like this:



the problem seems to affect only the Pegasos2 computers, infact the package works well on Apple iBooks, iMacs and the IBM RS6000 (Power3)... so at this time Pegasos2 users should not upgrade their version of cvsup.

For what it's worth, I've run into the same (or maybe just similar) problem on a PowerBook with Crux 2.0.1rc1 -- which appears to use the aforementioned version of cvsup.

same when you try to build or try to use it?
your powerbook has a g4 cpu? which model?

thank you for your help

Originally the error popped up when I tried to use it (via 'ports -u'). Needless to say I've been using the httpup repositories for a while. The same error popped up when I tried to build it.

bash-2.05b$ cat cpuinfo

To make a long story short, a 1 GHz 12" PowerBook G4.

Got exactly the same machine and the same behaviour.

thank you guys

we're in contact with olaf wagner (one of the developers of the cm3 compiler used to build cvsup), the probem seems to affect only certains G4 cpus

stay tuned :wink:
